Furthermore, during the Ordinary General Meeting itself any shareholder may propose draft resolutions on the business included in the Agenda. Manner of Voting by Proxy The shareholder who is a natural person may participate in the Ordinary General Meeting, exercise his voting right in person or by proxy. The shareholder who is not a natural person may attend and vote at the Ordinary General Meeting through a person who is duly authorised to submit declarations of will on their behalf or by a proxy. To be valid, the power of attorney should be drawn up in writing and enclosed with the minutes of the Ordinary General Meeting, or submitted by electronic mail. The template of a power of attorney at the end of this announcement will be available as of the date of release of this announcement on the Bank’s website, under “Investor Relations (General Meeting)”. The issue of a power of attorney by electronic mail should be reported to the Bank by means of electronic mail sent to wza@pkobp.pl , making sure that it is possible to verify the validity of the power of attorney. The message reporting the issue of such a power of attorney should include details of the proxy and his client (their forenames, surnames, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses). A message reporting the issue of a power of attorney should also state the scope of authorisation, i.e. state the number of shares vis-a-vis which voting rights are to be exercised and the date and title of the General Meeting at which these votes are due to be exercised. The Bank shall take suitable action to identify the shareholder and proxy in order to verify the validity of the power of attorney which was submitted by electronic mail. The verification may require an electronic mail message or telephone call to the shareholder or proxy in order to confirm the power of attorney and its scope. In case of doubts, the Bank may take further actions in order to verify the validity of the power of attorney granted in electronic form and identification of the shareholder and the proxy. The Bank warns that the absence of a reply to such a query will render it impossible to verify the power of attorney and will constitute grounds for refusing to allow the proxy to take part in the Ordinary General Meeting. The right to represent a shareholder who is not a natural person should derive from an extract from the relevant commercial register shown when the attendance list is drawn up (submitted either in the original or in the form of a copy certified by a notary), or from a series of powers of attorney. Persons representing a shareholder who is not a natural person should appear in a current extract from that shareholder’s commercial register. A member of the Management Board of the Bank or an employee of the Bank may be a shareholder's proxy at the Ordinary General Meeting. If a proxy at the Ordinary General Meeting is a member of the Bank’s Management Board or Supervisory Board, or is a liquidator, employee or member of bodies of a Bank subsidiary, his power of attorney may allow him to act at only one General Meeting. A proxy is obliged to notify a shareholder of any circumstances which may suggest a conflict of interests or a likelihood thereof. The granting of a further power of attorney is not possible. A proxy votes in accordance with the instructions he received from the shareholder.
